So there it is. I might be in and I might need a roommate. Don't know if that pushes any one over who might be on the fence.
....or it discourages you from going. That's fine with me.

The hotel management was trying to control the water from the burst pipe, Keen said, "but it was above their workmanship."
"When I arrived they were trying to control it with trash cans and laundry bins, and they were all full and overflowing," Keens said.

Video footage of the flooding. There was also commentary under one article that there was a widespread AC failure and yet another closure of the kitchen by the board of health.

Brief recap:
The new venue is pretty awesome and an obvious upgrade over the Host. The only real issue was the spotty WiFi coverage. It was fine in the public areas, but in the hotel rooms, pretty hit or miss. The hotel has promised they are upgrading the system for next year and I tend to believe them. They were unbelievably responsive to any sort of issues. One small game room had no AC and they brought in a ton of portable units the same day, problem solved. The setting is great - its relaxing to wake up and look over a valley and not hear trucks downshifting up Rt30 at 6AM . I got in some great mountain biking . All the gaming areas are clean, very well lit ( the open gaming area in particular ) and the tables aren't full of splinters. The hotel was genuinely happy to have us and the staff was awesome.
Are there downsides ? Sure - its 3 hours further from New England. And if you were staying offsite from the Host due to costs, the nearest cheap hotels are 20 minutes away. And there aren't a dozen chain restaurants a mile away. But overall, it was a huge improvement. Attendance was only down about 15%, and I can see it getting back to the original numbers pretty easy.

One cool feature is that there are numerous condos nearby that you can rent. They are fully equipped with kitchens, some even have grills. They are talking about getting a price break on those for next years, which might reduce demand on the attached hotel, which even though it was substantially larger than the Host, sold out well before the convention.
